Plato/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words plato and/or philosophy:

    Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion must excite your
    languid spleen,
    An attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a
    not-too-French French bean!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    We are tainted by modern philosophy which has taught us that all is good, whereas evil has polluted everything and in a very real sense all is evil, since nothing is in its proper place.
    Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
